Led by a fine all round performance from National U-19 player Ricardo Adams, Wakenaam Lions defeated Maria’s Pleasure by 6 wickets in the final of the Cheddi Jagan Memorial twenty\20 cricket competition last Sunday at the Wakenaam Community Centre ground. Adams grabbed 4- 22 as Maria’s Pleasure who won the toss and elected to bat first were skittled out for a paltry 59 in 8.5 overs. Leonard Lewis 17 and Kennard Lewis 13, were the only batsmen to reach double figures as Roopnarine Persaud and Chandreka Ragnauth supported Adams with 2-13 and 10 respectively. The Lions in reply knocked off the required target in 7.3 overs ending on 60-4. Adams was their leading batsman with 25, while Persaud chipped in with 15. The game was reduced to 15 overs.
Meanwhile, in the semifinals, Maria’s Pleasure overcame Sarah and Wakenaam Lions got past Essequibo Islands Secondary School by 6 and 40 runs respectively.
